THE VERSUS PROJECT: EGS, AMIGO

2013-03-09T19:09:00+00:00

The ‘ Versus’ project comes to light as a type of platform to be able to discover the new color range of Hardcore2 through the experiences of well known writers, at both a local level as well as on a international level. The concept is very simple, just like graffiti was during its more primal state: The invited artists choose their colors for filling, and black and white for outlines and highlights.

A excellent way to show us the skills and ingenuity of these writers by confronting these limitations, and at the same time, check the results of each of these new colors in a clairvoyant way, without any noise, without accessories or additives, only a writer painting a surface for a video not even two minutes long.

EGS is one of the masters of european style from the last decade, with no doubt a good representative of the scandinavian graffiti scene due to all his merits and experiences. His own choice of color: Azul Costeau. 1st round…. Fight!

VERSUS project, 1st round: EGS vs AZUL COUSTEAU from Montana Colors on Vimeo.

Homie, Amigo, Homr… The names might change from time to time, but his style is unmistakable! Member of both crews TSK and Hawaii Computers and a writer with credentials that are impossible to deny. He was confronted with the color Azul Christiania and he showed us a peerless calm and graceful attitude while painting. It was a true delight too see Amigo use the Hardcore 2.

HARDCORE 2 ‘RELOADED’

2013-02-28T20:07:26+00:00

HARDCORE 2 RELOADED’ from Montana Colors on Vimeo.

The new V·Touch system has been designed to increase the performances of the Hardcore2, eliminating the loss of paint around the bottom of caps of faster and thicker nature.

The new valve provides an increased velocity and better cleanup due to its high pressure, providing the Hardcore2 with a smoother touch and more precise control over the pulverizing paint while making lines. Painting fast and painting in more extreme climate will no longer be a problem.

The most popular Montana Colors cap of all times is up for retirement. The classic ‘Banana cap’ leaves us just to be replaced by a new cap specially designed for the V·Touch valve. The new ‘Hardcore Cap’, maintains the basics and the essential characters of the skinny cap, but with the capacity to make cleaner and more precise lines. And also we might add that the new cap is compatible with all other MTN products.

Last but not least, HC2 has been updated with 17 new colors (13 new and 4 classic ones), offering the MTN quality in terms of covering, drying and most importantly, human and environment best care. We also improved some of our POP colors by reaching an excellent level in covering and shine.

You could say that if there is one name that truly represents urban art culture, that name could be ‘Os Gemeos‘.

The Brazilian tandem are recognized around the world as generators of highly artistic work, they participate in important urban art events, surprising with their gigantic murals and, as if that weren’t enough, they are respected by the most orthodox section of graffiti, thanks to their involvement with writing which makes them constantly present on the street in the more classic formats, like tags, throw-ups, and train pieces.
